  "account": "Former DAP leader Ronnie Liu, who served as a member for 41 years and previously held the post of Selangor state assemblyman, has joined the Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM), according to a media briefing attended by PBM deputy leader Larry Sng. Liu, who also served as DAP's Executive Committee member for several terms, left the party in June 2023 due to dissatisfaction with the leadership's decision to restructure the party's constitution, which Liu deemed undemocratic. This move allowed DAP members to lose their automatic membership rights if they did not adhere to the party's stance on contentious issues, a measure Liu criticized.",
  "summary": "Ronnie Liu yang juga bekas exco Selangor menyertai Parti Bangsa Malaysia selepas lebih tiga tahun keluar DAP.",
